Hi,

Can anyone recommend some good Naija movies for me? I prefer drama.


Thanks!

'Good' movies in Nollywood. . .hmmm. . .lets see. . .ummmm . . .










Sorry can't think of anything 'good'. . .

Bridesmaid was a really cool film
Behind closed doors was also fab but it has three parts
I also think games women play was great, has two parts but if you like sda, Omotola and Genevieve then you'll definitely love it.

And if you speak yoruba then watch 'Owoblow' classic film, goes up to three parts but if you love guys playing bad and a little action with tonns of tears then you'll love it.

keeping faith and Violated are films that i liked.oldie goldie in my opinion

@Damsal, toptho

Ohh I saw Games Woman Play, loved it. In Trinidad we've only now started to get Nollywood movies. Some of them are good but , most of them are very very bad.

But I'll get the ones you recommened and see.

Thanks guys

@raymond

@trinigal

girls in the hood
real love
true love

fishers of men
and i can recomend films produced by emem isong.she knows how to produce good films that keep you glued to the screen

I have to agree with ThoniaSlim, Games Men Play, and Games Women Play are GREAT FILMS!!! I mean, it's not deep or anything, but they are both great movies. But I have to add onto that:
[list]
[li]Face of Africa (Show Girls)[/li]
[li]Bed of Roses[/li]
[li]Price of Fame, I give this on an A++++++++ lol[/li]
[li]Lost Wealth[/li]
[li]Critical Decision[/li]
[li][The] Break Up[/li]
[li]Thick Madam[/li]
[/list]

I also heard that Usuofia in London was good, as well as She (You Must Obey) but I never watched them.

Yo, watch African Heroes or Mad Ghost. . . I love those movies so much i watch it every effing day!

I enjoyed Women's Cot but its in 3 parts.

i seldom watch nigerian movie

Games men play

you can rarely go wrong with films produced and written by Emem Isong

so GAMES WOMEN PLAY and GAMES MEN PLAY are good films others seem to agree.


Also try

Intimate strangers
Diamond Ring ( 2 parts)
come highly recommended by me

and all films buy Tunde Kelani(producer)
e.g. yellow card, saworoide, magun, oleku etc.

Face of Africa: While the movie is err okay, the title sucked.
Why deem a movie that somewhat portrays prostitution as the 'Face of Africa'.

Lets not join Western counterparts in denigrating our continent.

I've been trying to watch this--I don't see what's so special about it. Seems pretty standard to me so far.

have you all watch JACK AND THE BEAN STOCK, if u have nt go and get ur copy, yeah its a treology

Is that a Nigerian movie?

keepin faith

Billionaire's Club 1, 2 and 3 - best nigerian movie i've seen in a long time. great filmography, great actors, made the story very believable.  some of these scenes were unnecessarily long tho. like the beginning of part 2, the traditional wedding. i notice this flaw in a lot of nigerian movies.

Face Me I Face You - had me rolling with laughter, that woman will fight the wind if it blew too hard

Selfish Desire 1 and 2 - what a wicked man.

Love Nwantiti - too funny

Valentino

I am a newbie but so far my favourites are,
"Girls Cot"
"Fishers of Men"
